Looking Back
Theme- It was great to learn about love and friendship with the kids for that last
two weeks. The kids made friendship bracelets for one another, created a friendship
chain and painted a circle of friendship. Our Friendship party was a blast too! The
kids had a great time with their friends playing games and eating a delicious snack.

weve learned about trading toys, taking turns and playing together.
